Gamblers split tens

It's 6:55 a.m. and I'm heading to the airport at 8 to catch a flight to Orlando. My bag isn't packed, but a 2 1/2-hour domestic flight is about as easy as it gets. I got back from Rome yesterday at 4 p.m. after leaving last Wednesday. It was a short stint, but...

Something strange is happening to me. At 35, for the first time in a decade, I don't care about (non-Philly) sports. And I've replaced most of my sports-podcast-junk-calories with something maybe even worse... political-podcast-junk-calories. I've been a sports...

When I use GPS, I enter my destination and choose the fastest option. The idea of calculating a couple minutes vs. few bucks in tolls always felt petty and unnecessary. But this Friday was SO egregious that I had to reconsider. Driving home from Avalon, Google Maps...

Factory farming is wildly uncomfortable to think about, which is why most people avoid it entirely. After finishing A World Appears and listening to a podcast on the topic, this resurfaced as something I've been thinking about often. This post will not be a fan...
